Al Khayala provides annual business travel solution for corporate sector

Notes and media contacts

Since its establishment in 1999, NAS has provided a growing range of services to the private aviation sector, which had historically been drastically underserved. The company currently provides a comprehensive service set including its revolutionary NetJets Middle East Fractional Aircraft Ownership and Leasing Program, aircraft charter services, aircraft management solutions, operation support and project management solutions and a hybrid product which combines the benefits of each of these services into one unique package for Middle East customers. In 2005, NAS launched Al Khayala, the region's first VIP air service targeting the business travel market in Saudi Arabia and the regional leisure destinations. In 2006, the company plans to launch Saudi Arabia's first Low Cost Carrier to serve the Kingdom's domestic travel market.

NAS operates and manages the largest and fastest growing fleet of private aircraft in the Middle East Region and one of the twenty largest worldwide. The company currently has a total of 28 aircraft of different types in its stable, including the largest fleet in the world of privately configured Airbus aircraft, along with Boeing, Gulfstream, Dassault and Raytheon models, and even Twin Otter aircraft employed in its medical evacuation service. With the orders announced recently, plus the introduction of this new airline, the company expects its fleet to grow to over 50 aircraft in the coming two years.

NAS offers the unique proposition to Middle East customers of unparalleled international service through a truly local company, and prides itself on being able to offer flexible, unique, non-traditional total solutions to all private aircraft users, regardless of their requirements.
